Journal Sport Science, Health and Tourism of Mandalika (JONTAK) is committed to providing accurate and accessible information about the institutions and individuals responsible for its publication and editorial management. Transparency about the publisher, journal management, editorial team, and official contacts enables authors, reviewers, readers, and other stakeholders to understand the journal's governance and accountability.
This information is prepared in accordance with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA), and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME).
- Journal Identity and Publishing Institution
Journal title: Journal Sport Science, Health and Tourism of Mandalika (JONTAK)
Electronic ISSN: 2722-3116
Publishing institution: Institut Penelitian dan Pengembangan Mandalika Indonesia (IP2MI)
Country of publication: Indonesia
Official journal website: https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/jontak
IP2MI is identified as the publishing institution in the journal records available through the ISSN Portal and the Indonesian GARUDA journal directory. The publishing institution supports the administration and continuity of the journal in coordination with its editorial management.
- Ownership and Institutional Affiliation
Public registration and directory records identify IP2MI as the journal's publisher. The publisher is responsible for ensuring that information about the journal's formal ownership, organizational structure, and governance is accurate and publicly available. Any separate legal owner, governing organization, partnership, or institutional sponsorship must be clearly identified when applicable and supported by appropriate institutional authorization.
Members of the JONTAK editorial team are affiliated with Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika, among other scholarly roles. An editor's professional or academic affiliation must not be interpreted as evidence that the affiliated university is the journal's legal owner or publishing institution. Institutional affiliations and publishing responsibilities must be described without ambiguity.
- Journal Management and Editorial Team
According to the journal's published Editorial Team information, its management and production roles include the following personnel:
Journal Manager: Maulidin, Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika
Journal Editors: Johan Irmansyah; K. Dedy Sandiarsa S.
Section Editors: Jamaludin; Irna Ningsi Amalia Rachman
Copy Editors: Ary Purmadi; Zinnurain
Proofreaders: Noor Ahmad; Lalu Sapta Wijaya
Layout Editors: Intan Primayanti; Balkis Ratu NL Esser
The authoritative current roster, including complete names and affiliations, should be maintained on the journal's Editorial Team page. Appointments, changes in responsibilities, and departures should be updated promptly and communicated to the relevant editorial and publishing personnel.
- Publisher and Management Responsibilities
The publishing institution is responsible for providing appropriate administrative support, facilitating the journal's publishing infrastructure, and ensuring continuity of operations. It should support secure manuscript handling, appropriate recordkeeping, digital accessibility, clear publishing policies, and the maintenance of the journal's public information.
The journal management coordinates routine editorial administration and communication, while designated editors manage manuscript screening, peer review, editorial assessments, and publication decisions. Copyediting, proofreading, and layout staff contribute to the preparation of accepted articles but do not replace independent editorial judgment. All parties must observe the journal's publication ethics, confidentiality, and conflict-of-interest policies.
- Editorial Independence and Ethical Governance
The publisher and journal management must respect the editorial team's independence in evaluating manuscripts. Acceptance, revision, and rejection decisions must be based on scholarly quality, relevance, originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and appropriate peer review, rather than financial considerations, personal relationships, institutional preferences, or sponsor influence.
Editors and editorial staff must disclose and appropriately manage competing interests. Where an editorial decision involves an individual with a relevant conflict, responsibility should be reassigned to an impartial editor. Complaints, appeals, and concerns about editorial conduct should be considered under the journal's applicable policies and relevant COPE guidance.
- Financial, Sponsorship, and Operational Transparency
JONTAK should clearly disclose any applicable submission fees, article processing charges, publication fees, waivers, sponsorship arrangements, institutional subsidies, advertising practices, and other sources of publishing revenue on its website. If a particular fee or revenue source does not apply, the journal should state that fact rather than leave authors to infer it.
Financial support and any agreements with affiliated institutions or sponsors must not compromise editorial independence. The publisher and editorial office should ensure that information about fees, licensing, access, publishing schedules, and long-term preservation is accurate, consistent, and readily accessible to authors and readers.
